COVID-19 Conditions of Entry for Businesses: A Safety Guide
As Tasmanian borders open to interstate visitors, COVID-19 cases will likely rise. This shift in activity encourages many owners to implement COVID-19 conditions of entry for businesses to protect their staff and customers.
Navigating COVID-19 Conditions of Entry for Businesses
Workplace hostility is increasing across the country due to mandated control measures. This tension may grow as more establishments limit service to fully vaccinated patrons.
At this time, anti-discrimination laws do not cover vaccination status. Because of this, your business has the right to implement entry conditions for safety. However, you must remain considerate of those with valid medical reasons for not being vaccinated. You should provide reasonable adjustments for these individuals.
Managing Workplace Health and Safety
New entry conditions will change how your employees work. You must conduct a risk assessment to comply with workplace health and safety (WHS) standards. AHR can help you manage these adjustments.
Consider these critical areas for your workplace:
- Hostility Training: Give your staff tools to manage difficult interactions.
- Emergency Plans: Develop clear procedures for threatening behavior.
- Stress Management: Support your team’s mental health during transitions.
- Role Suitability: Ensure the right employees are assigned to regulating entry duties.
